National Farmers Day is one day out of the year farmers get recognized for their hard work and dedication day in and day out. It's a chance to give back and acknowledge the vital role farmers play in our daily lives.

The Allamakee County Farm Bureau delivered goodie bags to local co-ops and Farm Bureau financial offices for farmers to take to show our appreciation. In these bags they were filled with snacks and a flyer about issue surfacing for farmers to appreciate. This grassroots outreach activity allowed Farm Bureau to reach out to Farm Bureau members and non-members to remind individuals that your input is critical to ensuring we are working on the issues that matter most to you and your family. Whether your issue deals with conservation, crops or animal production, regulations, taxes, rural development, education, transportation, or something else you can voice your concern.

Thanks to all the farmers that help put food on our plates every day!
